Hey HC. It seems this is a duplicate thread. I started the same one linking to the primary sources and hour before this one launched.

I also thought Perry would fall apart because his lack of speaking presence.
But, if that were the only criterion, Gingrich should be way ahead of the pack.
Cain is going to be up there for a while and may get the nod.
I don't want Christie to run, but, being the blowhard that he is, his campaign would have some legs.
I'd like to see Bob McDonnell get in the race. VA is doing better than other states.

Cain has some good points... but he will be exposed as the Bilderberger that he is...

I thought pretty much everyone in politics winds up a Bilderberger, Trilateral Commission member, and other pointy-hatted club invitee.

I agree with a post stating that Perry threw up on himself in the fox/ google debate. Even I might slur words from speaking quickly in instances but not on natinoal television.I was just surprised when I saw Perry mix up words; especially when he was speaking to Romney. He just doesn't seem that comfortable being televised.

I'm hardly a Perry fan, but the race has only started and people are writing him off all ready. Lets wait and see how it goes.

He is not quick witted and he is not comfortable being put on the spot. This is good preparation for the general election, because if you can't hold up for these debates, there is no way you can get through one with the democrats throwing at you.

I am not a fan either, but I agree. All of these fickle people are really amusing. They fall in love the first time a name is mentioned, without even knowing anything about these people. Then when they are not exactly the perfect candidate, they want to kick them to the curb and go find a new hero. Now they are going to put poor Chris Christie out there. Sheesh...that might not be pretty either. I hope he is smart enough to not let them do that to him. He is not ready.
